This year Bobtail will be 60 years old. I hope to have her back on the water for a party but there is still a lot of work to be done. However today saw a big change in her appearance.
With the loan of a bevel gauge, sharpened plane and chisels her new transom has been cut and shaped to fit. An easier task than I expected. Even carving the number wasn't too tricky. Must be the choice timber supplied by Aldeburgh Boat Yard.
Must go out and clean of the excess epoxy before it goes too hard. Next on the list are new ribs. Another trip to the Boatyard to find the right materials and advice.
